Wow. I just followed a link to read an article, and it didn't pop *anything* up.
It didn't ask me to allow notifications. It didn't ask me to authorize cookies. It didn't ask me to register. It didn't ask me to donate. It didn't ask me to disable my ad-blocker (I don't have an ad-blocker, I have a surveillance-blocker.) It had an ad over on the right, which I glanced at.
But. Like. It just let me read the article and go along my merry way.
I forgot how much I miss the old web.
